Walt Disney's musical about leprechauns, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, received a rave review from The New York Times when the film was released in 1959. Lavish commendations were heaped on most of the cast. One exception, however, was made for the 29-year old actor who played the romantic male lead. He was condemned with the faint praise of being "merely tall, dark, and handsome" with the clear implication that he was eye candy but could not act.
Despite this set-back, the actor, Sean Connery, managed to salvage his career, at least to some extent, when he appeared in several more pictures after he secured the role in 1962 of James Bond in Dr. No.
Darbvy O'Gill and the Little People is in fact worth watching, if for no other reason than to hear James Bond sing.
